Stats & Training
Regigigas's all-in on Attack at the expense of Sp. Atk. The physical lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 3 Attack EVs and follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
It is said to have made Pokémon that look like itself from a special ice mountain, rocks, and magma.
Regigigas Weakness
Type-wise, Regigigas takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Regigigas's overall bulk (110/110/110) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

Best Locations to Catch Regigigas in Platinum
Regigigas Guide
In Platinum, Regigigas is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 670 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a sweeper. Thunder Wave with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Platinum, Regigigas's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Regigigas has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Slow Start is the go-to ability for Regigigas. It halves Attack and Speed for five turns upon entering battle. It's Regigigas's only ability.
In Platinum, Regigigas fills the sweeper role. It's a physical attacker with base 160 Attack. Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
For Platinum, the core moveset is Thunder Wave, Return, Substitute, and Earthquake. Thunder Wave leads at 23% usage. Return provides reliable STAB damage.
